Rules of engagement; If you want to make a suggestion of a new word, either one who should enter the book, or if you think I should change an already posted word, blog it. I will look at it and see if I think it should enter the book. If is does, your name/avatar/group/secret identity will be credited.

Lists & explanations ( both origin, concrete explanation and semantical value )

Blogs - to blog, blogging, to write a text sized from an article, small lecture or poem format. Many bloggers that are known, are considered to have huge influence and blogging has become normal journalistic procedure. The blog is said to be faster in the production more alive, as the readers can comments, and has less structural work as a normal article. Blogs sometimes follows conventions for articles, with a title, subtitle, and headlines in the different sections. some blogs resemble more poetic use, combined with stream-of-consiousness elements. In New Journalism, Tom Wolfe ( journalist) made people aware of the use of stream-of-consiousness, sometimes in the 1970és. the most popular stream-of-conciouness, and the most extrem, is the author Hunter S. Thompson, example of books; fear & loathing, recently filmatized. After Tom Wolfe published his theories, Hunter S. Thompson came up with the term "Gonzojournalism" as a more proper way of describing the workprocess, he felt should be strengthened by any intoxicated substance you can lay your hands on while writing/ audiotaping or scribling down on available surfaces like medical subscriptions or available body parts from the other sex. Many bloggers are clearly inspired by both New Journalism and Gonzojournalism. In medias res and small concrete information, like regicomments from filmscripts and theater plays, gives the audience a real and alive experience of the bloggers writing.
